Draper chp 11

What is literacy Draper Chp 11. pg. 159-161 In these few pages they said exactly what I was planning on saying. Chapter 11 focuses on bringing all the chapters together and saying why we need to (re)imagine content area literacies. We must do this, according to Draper, because "working together, literacy specials and content area teachers place themselves in the best possible position to attain what they care about most, the wellbeing of their communities". I consider communities to mean content area specialties. I was going to say that we must (re)imagine content area literacies because teachers need to work together with literacy specialists as well as outside content areas to form a community. If we don't form it now, we won't have it. If we form this foundation and keep a mentality that we will cooperate with other teachers in other fields as well as constantly challenge ourselves to teach better then we will not get stuck in the same rut that thousands of teachers are in. Burn-out occurs because teachers get bored, and those without the heart of a teacher also get burn-out very quickly in a community lacking school. Teachers challenge each other, inspire each other, and teach each other. If we can (re)imagine content area literacy now before we even know what our content literacy is, then we might have a shot at correcting future mistakes.
